Happy Easter

I had a great Easter with the family and hope you guys did too! Yesterday we drove to Midlothian to see Jared's grandma and have lunch with his family to celebrate his birthday. Then today we went to church, my mom's house in Keller, and then Jared's sister's house in Allen. So we drove around the world but it was so fun.

Today at church, I was worshiping God and had a heavy, tired heart. Just from the situations around me, I feel drained and overwhelmed sometimes!! But when I was singing, I just really thought about Jesus dying on the cross for us and how hard that must have been. He could have just stopped and said wait, never mind, this is TOO much, but He didn't. If being beaten, spit on, ridiculed, tortured, and then dying on the cross, rising again, wasn't too much for him, if that wasn't too big for him, then I am pretty sure what I am going through is not too big for HIM! I am so thankful that He died and rose again so that I could be FREE! So think about that, no matter what you are going through today, it's not too big for HIM!! Give it to him!

He never gives us more than we can handle -
I am SO thankful for my freedom in Him - and the sacrifice He made for us. and I am thankful that we go to a church that celebrates freedom and his GRACE covers all.
today was fun!
